    I don’t give a shit if you use your phone. But if you take a call and put it on loudspeaker you’re the worst kind of person.

    So how old do they get? Because I’m in a restaurant myself and don’t want to take out my phone to look it up

    Talking on your phone is much more distracting than quietly looking at your phone.

    There’s nothing wrong with using your Knowledge Navigator on your own time.

    lol that’s just not true these days that it’s rude to be on your phone in a restaurant. I’ve seen entire families on ‘em in relatively swank joints, and ain’t no one saying a damn thing.

      Just because everyone is doing it doesn’t mean it’s not rude. Put your digital crack down for an hour or go to rehab.

      That’s one of the things I love about Tool/APC/Lucifer concerts. If you have your phone out, you’ll get kicked the fuck out.

        I’ve been to a few concerts where they put phones in little bags that you can unlock when you go outside, so there’s 0 phones. It’s pretty cool

      I always though that was about talking on the phone or using it while ordering.

      But I do feel it is rude to be on your phone while at a restaurant with other people.

        It’s up to you to use your best judgement. There are many places where it definitely wouldn’t fly (a wedding for example), and it’s up you to read the room.

        That said, most casual places usually don’t mind, and when with friends you probably shouldn’t, unless they’re chill. Common sense prevails above all else.
